even if it were possible and I'd think not as to the minimal cylinder wall thickness. They are thicker than the antique .38 Spec. spec. and materials are better today but not that much.
You really need a 6" barrel to get worthy performance gains and a longer one still is even better. Those are HUNTING rounds as designed. The .356 GNR is essentially a .357 Maximum in a shorter package. Ditto the .300 GNR, a .30 Herrett in a size befitting a large frame SA revolver window.

Silly idea: 356 GNR J Magnum Frame or SP101
